GAAAAAAAAAAH!!
Why Yahtzee!? Why don't you ever give the Wii a chance. Sure it doesn't bend over backwards to tell you how great it's graphics are and how very serious it is (Oh look another grainy brown hellscape for me to grunt across as yet another space marine) but just because the Wii doesn't feel like catering to you and the "GAMEZ R SERIOUS BIZNESS" crowd that you oh so love.
The Wii is just as good as the other two systems. I suspect you have never actually touched a wii-mote for more than seven seconds before denouncing it a travesty against your preconceived notions and then never again giving it a chance. I have never experienced the problems you speak of. I have never found the controls to not register movements. I have never found them to be difficult or unintuitive.
I don't know what your problem is. But you should seriously bend the fuck over and remove the PS3 from your rectum before the pent up bullshit causes your head to explode!

So why do you own one?DRUNK_CANADIAN said:
And this "REAL gamers" bull is precisely what I'm talking about. You are not more entitled to your opinion because you can play Kaizo Mario World without saves or were one of the beta testers for the Atari 2600 or because your PC rig is bigger than anyone else's. We are all people playing games where we pretend to be spacemen and plumbers and the world's least subtle Black Ops officers, and the Wii's failure to target you will not result in Nintendo going bankrupt no matter how much you wish it so. The Wii is an objective success and though you can gripe that it doesn't have the best game library or variety of genres or that the motion sensing could be improved (Nintendo seems to even agree with you on that, what with "Motion Plus"), trying to claim that it's the worst thing since the Jaguar is just your sense of entitlement showing.
I'm not sure what it is but this video was not funny to me.
I wonder if the people who got angery at Trubine during MM will do this.Spinwhiz said:
Ah trapped insects... Good school memories.
Anyway, I found Yahtzee's review of this torture sim to be rather good. Plenty of side references thrown in, a little less hate; so I suspect he enjoyed it as much as he admitted. The lack of the wii's finesse is something I too have noticed. The controller was meant to be the greatest thing out, but in my experience (not too much, but I've played a few of the games) it doesn't quite get there. Could summarise it down to flawed, imprecise response to what you are trying to achieve.
As a fencer, the fencing reference made me chuckle.

It isn't, it just means that the Wii will keep getting a flow of one dimensional titles and very few worthy titles. Again, if a lot of people keep buying all these mini-games compilation, what could possibly motivate Nintendo and other companies to take the risk of making something different? The production cost for this games is low, and the gains high. It's a golden goose for sure, one that actually has started to eat itself in Japan by the way. That's why Nintendo is already making Wii sports 2, they don't want to see the novelty die so fast. I just wonder how long it will last.Evan Waters said:
I found this episode to be funny, but I do not agree with the review itself. Mainly because A) Madworld is kickass (especially in the military base and B) The unwarrented Wii hate. I know that it's full of shovelware, but that's the developers' fault, not the hardware. Anyway, loved the review, even though I whole-heartedly disagree with it.
Why is Yazi so unfunny? Madworld was a fine game, not perfect, but nothing is, certainly not the shit being shoveled out by 99.9% of all developers across all platforms. We're living in the age of mediocrity; both in games and critics.
Bring on the suck, folks.

Have to admit, this was a rare miss.
I got a few chuckles, but (and this may be just because I'm a Nintendo fanboy) you seemed to be less interested in the actual game and more in soapboxing against the Wii. You give Nintendo too little credit.
I had a bunch of other stuff to say, but I can't seem to get them out in writing, so I guess I'll just leave it at that.
